SITTING BY THE WATER THINKING ABOUT MY FAMILY

Today I received news I lost two Great Aunts within 24 hours of each other. My Grandmother is now in Hospice and everyone is trying to make her comfortable at this time so today was a sad day. All 3 have lived long and wonderful lives and I know that they will be in Heaven when I get there. I went out to the lake and sat late this afternoon just to think and thank God that he gave me such a wonderful family and that I had the opportunity to be related to each of these women. I shot this picture while I was sitting there and having my private moment. I know I will see them again and that is a great comfort to me but I will miss them in this life and that is why I cry.
Life here is short so we must live each day the fullest and take advantage of God's beautiful creations. I thank Him for the chance to have lived and loved with all my heart and for the light of each new day that I'm given. Tell those you love that you love them each day and never take them or any moment for granted.

Wonderful work. Voted.

I absolutely love this photograph. It is a good example of the fact that drama need not be generated by content but can come from the light, contrast, and compositional choices of the photograph itself. Huge V
